How To: Turning Summer Favorites Into Fall Must-Haves

As any self-proclaimed fashion lover, I can't wait for every season change because of the new possibilities in the clothing and accessory world. Unfortunately, when new styles come in, usually the season before fades away, leaving behind items I'm never quite ready to let go of. Luckily some pieces are able to make the transition from one season into the other if it is guided with a few accessories, leaving both your closet space and your pocketbook thanking you for not buying a full new wardrobe every time the leaves change!

Maxi Dresses

To save your favorite maxi dress from retiring for the year, pair with a leather jacket and ankle boots. The combination of a light flowing dress and leather make the perfect soft but edgy fall style we love!

Sundresses

To keep a sundress in your wardrobe cycle, pair with a light blazer and trade wedges for a closed toe pump. This refines your look while still being able to have fun with bright summer shades and shapes.

Colored Skinny Jeans

One of my favorite trends lately has been the colored skinny jean and I am so happy I will be able to wear them for at least a few more months! The trick to bringing colored jeans into autumn is to use neutral tones to calm down the over all look. Try a basic striped tee with a chunky knit sweater. Accessorize with a warm high boot and a muted scarf.

Shorts

In order to stay in those super cute shorts a little longer, ditch the sandals and upgrade into a pair of fun bold tights and a thick heel, A short sleeved sweater keeps the outfit from feeling over weighted and stuffy, while still feeling weather appropriate.

There really is no reason to get rid of things you love as the seasons change,as long as you know how to bring them up to date, so hopefully these easy styling tips will keep your favorite clothes in your closet and a few extra dollars in your pocket!
